- Actually, I've heard that it's perfectly legal to go into a store and do
- something like this. I go into PDQ's all the time and fill up a cup of pop
- and start drinking it long before I pay for it... It becomes a crime the
- minute you walk out the door without having paid. (Of course, the store
- has a right to demand payment _immediately_ and kick you out as soon as
- you've done so... no doubt they would, if you went to a store and started
- eating bag after bag of Chee-tos! :-) )
